The Blues Brothers (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Blues Brothers is a 1980 musical/comedy film, directed by John Landis and starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as "Joliet" Jake and Elwood Blues, The Blues Brothers, and their supporting band. At the prompting of Curtis (Calloway), the elderly orphanage worker who originally introduced the brothers to the blues, a visit to an evangelical church service gives the duo an epiphany: they can legitimately raise the necessary funds by taking their legendary rhythm and blues band for a tour. Literally seconds after paying the bill to the assessor clerk (Spielberg), the brothers are arrested, and the film ends with the entire band, who have all been imprisoned in the same prison, playing Jailhouse Rock for their fellow inmates. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Blues_Brothers_(film)   (1379 words)

Blues Brothers 2000 One of the nice things about “Blues Brothers 2000” is that the time in the story has progressed for 18 years; it does not attempt to pretend that nothing has happened in that time. Blues, rhythm and blues, and soul are the heritage of fl people and as such, should be celebrated and represented mostly by them. If you can face that the “Blues Brothers” cult of the original cannot be topped or re-created, and if you can accept that the character of Elwood Blues changed in the past 18 years, I am sure you will enjoy this film as much as I did, and turn on the good vibes. www.dvdreview.com /html/blues_brothers_2000.html   (1294 words)

The Blues Brothers - Biography - AOL Music The Blues Brothers made their national TV debut with Belushi and Aykroyd outfitted in the bee costumes they often wore for another sketch, performing (naturally enough) Slim Harpo's "I'm a King Bee," and in the months to follow they grew in popularity, appearing on the program with increasing regularity. The Blues Brothers' band included top Memphis session men like guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, who together appeared on many of the original Stax label recordings of songs in the group's repertoire; later incarnations also featured notables like bluesman Matt "Guitar" Murphy. In 1981, The Best of the Blues Brothers was released, further solidifying their massive popularity; however, on March 5, 1982, Belushi died in Hollywood of an accidental drug overdose, and the Blues Brothers' saga was effectively over. music.aol.com /artist/the-blues-brothers/3721/biography   (357 words)
